Still watching episodes of "A Gentleman in Moscow". It's pretty good!

I looked that up when you first brought it up and it has my interest. There isn't much else on Showtime that interests me so I'll wait for a deal to pop up. There usually is a good deal for Showtime popping up from time to time.
 

I'm doing a month of AMC+ right now and I won't be continuing because after two weeks I've seen everything I'm the least bit interested in.

However, I thought it was worth it just to get "Happy Valley," a British police crime drama. I binged all 18 episodes in about four days I was so into it.

Another one i just remembered is Ballykissangel . It's set in Ireland and has the same quirky feel to it. It's available on Pluto. Again another "older" show.

Another one that was at my library on DVD years ago. But they didn't have many. I'm not a big of Pluto, although Walmart plus has a deal with Pluto for a handful of commercial free content.

I hope I can find it somewhere else. I think I saw it on Kanopy or Hoopla from my local library. I'll check again later. Thanks for the reminder.

Edit: Looked it up on justwatch.com. 1 season is on Hoopla. 2 seasons are on Pluto. 6 seasons are on Britbox.

The Last Resort (2012)

Probably too meaty for generic audiences, and as such it got cut short after a single season. But still excellent television. Hard to find it "free" but several services carry it for-fee. Some may offer a more economical "season purchase option."

I own it on Blu-Ray myself. I'm not sure what's going on. Perhaps the political climate these days is hostile to the sort of entertainment based upon serious levels of corruption?

You aren't missing much.

It seems like nothing but foreign films and series, dubbed (and subbed with different dialog), with a Netflix label slapped on.

But hey, they do have clunky movies about Godzilla and such that are clearly just slightly reworked scripts from 1950s Japanese kiddie flicks.

I can get all of that for free...and I love me some clunky Godzilla...

Been rewatching Gilmore Girls, more as background noise. Even though I watched it originally years ago, I still remember most of it.

I've been watching a youtube video of Seth Meyers and Andy Samberg doing an interview of Seth to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Late Show with Seth Meyers. I've watched it 3 times now. I don't care for either Seth Meyers or Andy Samberg, but their friendship and laughter is heartwarming. I needed some heart warming lately.

Currently 4 episodes into the new Dr Who series. Lots of mixed emotions and dismay at first but it's getting better. MUCH better!

Ep1 - Space Babies - 4/10 - silly - felt like a 'Sarah Jane Adventures' story (May have got 6/10 if it had been)
Ep2 - The Devil's Chord - 1/10 absolutely terrible.
Ep3 - BOOM! - 8/10 - now THAT is Dr Who!
Ep4 - 73 Yards - 9/10 - YES!

I've never seen any Dr Who but many have raved about it. I wonder if it is on Netflix or Prime or what? I'm going to put it on my watch list.

Watch out for emails like that. I've been getting emails from all kinds of services that I have never had. They are very likely scammers. I sometimes look at the return addresses and they have nothing to do with the company in the email.
 
I began watching "Shogun" on Hulu. It's so beautiful I almost cried. I must have read the book a dozen times. My husband discovered the book, I read the same copy, so did our son. I found the covers, back & front, in a bookcase but no book!

Warning: mostly subtitles from Japanese.

I've always been interested in Japan since early childhood. As a kid, I wrote to their government asking for information and I was thrilled to receive an information pack back from them.

The Japanese are such fascinating people. Island people are so different from mainlanders.

I've heard great things about that show. I'll probably sub to Hulu for a moth to watch that and anything else I might have missed in the past six moths on Hulu.

It seems like a few here enjoy watching British shows with the eclectic setting and quirky characters. For those who do, I suggest trying out Monarch on the Glen. It is an older show. I watched it back when I used to get my shows on DVD's from Netflix. It's a fun and warm show about the ups and downs of a family owning a large family estate and having financial problems trying to keep it. I just checked and it is currently streaming for free (with commercials) on the Roku Channel and Freeve .

After watching 5 seasons out of 7 I've decided Archie's decisions are a result of his inbreeding. Like the show, but frustrating to watch. Thanks @MarkinPhx. Favorite character - Golly! (he's the only one that keeps me grounded)

I just watched the movie Home. It's a kid's animated movie. I watched it a couple months ago when it was leaving Netflix. It just came back on Netflix and is trending. I liked it when I watched it the first time, but it was rushed, so I watched it again. A fun movie.

I'm now watching The Lego Movie. I haven't seen any Lego movies before. It has its funny moments. Many Dad jokes.
 
I watched the series finale of Royal Pains. I watched the entire series and left that last episode. Maybe if I watched it together, it might have been better. The series was great. That last episode wasn't the highlight.

I watched the second to last episode of Good Witch. That was good. Sad to see this series ending for me.

I watched the first 2 episodes of Emily in Paris. I'm not fond of people in other countries hating on Americans, so this wasn't that exciting for me. I might keep watching to see if it gets better.

I watched the first 2 episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I'm not a big fan of Andy Samberg or that kind of humor. It's just OK so far.
